Chapter 707: True Opponent
After some slow temptation, Nangong Wan'er left the palace and returned to the princess's mansion, and the sky was already dark.
Sitting alone in front of the window, Nangong Wan'er was not even in the mood to eat, although Nangong Qing had already explained it to her, but instead of making her happy, she felt a little more resentful.
Xiao Tianci, the third prince of Dongwan Kingdom? Hehe, is she so rare to talk about?
If she hadn't seen his lewd and shameless appearance, maybe Nangong Wan'er would have been a little interested, but today she saw it clearly, Xiao Tianci, the third prince of Dongwan, was clearly a shameless scum and an idle man! If he wins in the end, won't she have to marry Dongwan and live with this stinky man for the rest of her life?
How could she be willing?
"Brother Huang, you are so ruthless to Wan'er......" Nangong Wan'er muttered, her face became more and more sad, her slender and white fingers stirred one by one, the red dankou and pale skin were set off, and resentment gradually grew in her heart.
"Princess, don't be sad, Your Majesty actually cares about you." The palace maid Mei'er whispered to persuade.
"Concerned? If the royal brother really cared, he wouldn't have lost face in the palace like this and connived at that stinky man! said that he is the third prince of Dongwan, or the most suitable candidate for this year, does the palace want to take a fancy to him and marry Dongwan? ”
Nangong Wan'er's voice suddenly rose: "He is simply impatient to see this palace, he can't wait to marry this palace, and he will never come to hinder his eyes in the future, where does he care about this palace!?" ”
"Princess, wrath! The princess is angry! Mei'er quickly knelt down in fright.
With a cold snort, Nangong Wan'er vented a few words, but she didn't lose her temper anymore and gradually eased up.
The reality of the past year has forced her to endure it, and even her temperament has changed a lot. If it was before, I was afraid that she would have lost her temper a long time ago and killed a few candidates on the spot, right? No...... Where is it the turn of those candidates to play tricks in front of her? She won't be recruited by the royal brother at all, and she will be embarrassed in public!
She is the most noble third princess of Western Chu, and she should be favored and married to her favorite man!
Can ...... now
Nangong Wan'er sneered sadly, her eyes were cold.
Will she let her future be decided? No way! How could she accept her fate? I'd rather live the second half of her life with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, she must also destroy this recruitment, if that person is the third prince of Dongwan Kingdom in the end, she would rather die! But now, the stinky man who humiliated her, she must let him taste it.
Her eyes were cold, Nangong Wan'er was full of thoughts, and she already had an idea, and said loudly: "Mei'er, prepare pen and ink." ”
Mei'er was slightly surprised, I don't know why the princess suddenly wants to write and ink, what do you want to write? But she didn't dare to ask more, so she hurriedly went to grind and lay paper, and watched Nangong Wan'er write letters one after another.
Handing the written envelopes to Mei'er, Nangong Wan'er hooked the corners of her lips: "Send these letters out immediately, quickly!" ”
"Yes." Mei'er bowed and retreated.
At the beginning of the lanterns, night falls, but the Yueyue Building is very lively, laughing and laughing.
This is the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, everyone knows, all those who have status and status to feast relatives and friends, prepare a banquet, will choose to invite the moon building. The chef of Invite Yue Lou retired from the imperial dining room, and made dishes for the master of the palace, and he was good at all the tastes of the north and south, which added to the fame of Invite Yue Lou.
In the largest cyclamen private room on the third floor, silk and bamboo are curling at this time, and the sound of the piano is pleasant.
A group of young men and literati were raising their glasses in celebration, and there were no less than dozens, filling the entire private room. Everyone said all kinds of pleasant words, their faces were pleasant, and they complimented each other, but in their hearts they had different thoughts, and they secretly observed.
The young man sitting on the main seat, Yushu was in the wind, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face and responded: "You are too high-minded, today is just a fluke, and you are the first to win. ”
Someone immediately answered: "Brother Wang is too modest, if you are not as good, then wouldn't we be even worse?" ”
"That's right, Brother Wang was a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy at a young age, and he was also the champion last year, with a charming style and outstanding character, not to mention that he often listened to the teachings of the Queen Mother. We are ashamed to wait, with you as the longest, how can Brother Wang be arrogant! ”
Wang Xiuhan was proud in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and he was even more approachable, and thanked everyone: "In fact, I was also worried about running for the election and recruiting relatives. The princess is extremely noble, and we have naturally admired it for a long time, but she is just an ordinary man, how can she match the princess's natural beauty? It is also because God has eyes, His Majesty recruited relatives for the princess, so that I have the opportunity to wait for today. Everyone competes fairly, and whoever wins or loses is a blessing from God! ”
Turning his head to look at the other person beside him, he smiled slightly: "Brother Sun Xian, you said yes, right?" ”
This is called Sun Xiandi's, and it is naturally Sun Feng, the son of Sun Lie, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Although in terms of family background, Sun Feng is not as good as Wang Xiuhan of the Queen Mother's family, but now he is also a royal guard, often accompanying Emperor Xichu, so he naturally has a little arrogance and self-confidence. Since the end of the first day of recruitment, more than 60 candidates who were even with him gathered in the Invitation Moon Building to eat and celebrate, originally everyone was an equal status, but most people pushed Wang Xiuhan to sit on the throne.
Seeing that he is the background of the Queen Mother's family, Sun Feng naturally doesn't say much, but he is not convinced in his heart.
"Brother Wang is reasonable, since it is recruiting relatives, it is fair competition. When you come to participate in the selection, you naturally love the princess and hope to get the princess's favor one day. Hearing this, Sun Feng smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "However, there is only one princess, but there are more than 60 people waiting for us, and I don't know who has the ability to win in the end and marry the princess as a concubine." ”
was still smiling and grinning before, but when it came to the most realistic problem, everyone suddenly froze, and the smiles on their faces stiffened a little. Looking at the people around me again, it seems that each of them is the most advantageous competitor, with a belly of intrigue and intrigues, where is there the previous push cup and change the lamp, good like brothers?
Turning his head to look at someone at the table behind him, Sun Feng said lightly: "Brother Yang, I still remember that today the princess looked at you differently and sent someone to pass on to you, I don't know what she said?" I'm afraid I'm just curious, why don't I tell everyone about it? ”
The person known as Brother Yang suddenly had his eyes lit up, as if all the light had converged on him, and his spirit was shocked: "Ahahahaha, where is it, Brother Sun is too awarded......"
When everyone heard this, there was a hint of jealousy in their eyes, and they immediately coaxed: "Brother Yang Wei, the princess actually sent you a message alone?" What are you talking about? ”
"Hahahaha, there is nothing! The princess praised it falsely, saying that in the lower Yushu Linfeng, a talent, hahahaha, I am really ashamed, ashamed......"
Originally, he was coaxed by others, but as soon as he said it, it attracted countless envious and jealous eyes, and immediately one of them stood up in disbelief and sneered: "Your Majesty chooses a horse for the princess, can you win by her looks?" The princess also praised my article, and said that she wrote a good hand, hehe......"
"It's just last year's Jinshi, are you as good as Brother Xiuhan?"
Immediately, someone provoked: "What if the article is good, and the selection of the horse is not the selection of the champion, what is there to be proud of?" The two Zhou brothers are the ones who do it, but the princess said it herself and invited them to sit in the princess's mansion another day. I'm afraid, the princess has a good impression of the two Zhou brothers. ”
"What about the good feelings, it's just a princess's politeness, who knows what if they go? Maybe you will be fascinated by the beauty of the princess, and you won't be able to speak, and you will be embarrassed on the spot! Besides, there is only one princess, but Brother Zhou is two, do you want the princess to have one maid and two husbands......
"Presumptuous, you are so bold to humiliate the princess!"
"How can I humiliate the princess, but let you die! The princess is just having fun seeing your twins grow up the same, and you two brothers are really going to marry you as princesses? Phew! ”
"What do you say! Say it again......"
Seeing that a celebration was about to turn into a scuffle, and the candidates were about to fight through their hypocritical faces, a voice suddenly came out, like thunder: "Stop! Today is only the first day, are you going to fight, get a blue nose and swollen face, and want to go to the princess tomorrow to lose face? ”
It is Wang Xiuhan who is currently ranked first in the winning rate, but the reputation of the situation is second to Xiao Tianci.
He swept everyone around with cold eyes and said loudly: "If you want to make trouble, then it is better to withdraw from the election directly and don't go tomorrow!" You don't want to think about what will happen if there is a big trouble tonight and it is spread to the princess. ”
Everyone looked at each other, their hearts sank, and they finally calmed down.
"Besides, we're all panicking here, but there's one person who isn't here. This person is the real opponent we are waiting for, and even if I want to defeat him, I am not sure. Are you in a mess and want to give up the princess to others? ”
There was a wake-up call, and a figure flashed in everyone's minds.
was extremely arrogant, standing proudly on the high platform, staring at the princess's flower and moon appearance without any scruples...... I thought that this person would be disqualified, and even hit dozens of boards, but in the end, he got a word from His Majesty, and he simply stared at the ground!
Yes, how did they forget this person?
Huang Guan!
"Yes, I almost forgot that this talent named Huang Guan is our real opponent."
Wen Jian, the second son of the deputy governor of the Inspectorate, Yu Shi Wen Kangning, said with a deep face: "He didn't come to the celebration tonight, obviously disdainful of us." is just a showman, he can make His Majesty see it, Chrysostom is the master of the princess, this Huang Xiucai is really a character! ”
Wave after wave of unsettled, everyone immediately discussed, discussing rumors about this Huang Guan Xiucai. What kind of family is poor and loses his father, and he is studying hard, and some people say that this Huang Xiucai has a problem, and it is not me at all, I am afraid that I will be replaced......
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Yuelou knocked on the door and came in, and said loudly: "Princes, please be quiet, the princess has sent someone, and I have something to bring!" ”
